Household Products

Consumers can become overwhelmed by the number of household cleaning products available on the market. Many products contain toxic ingredients which can cause health problems when used. These include: shortness of breath, an allergic reaction, or dizziness. It is important to use any products with adequate ventilation (open windows, exhaust fans running). If any symptoms occur, stop using the product immediately and get some fresh air.

You can avoid using harmful products by making your own non-toxic cleaners. Key ingredients include baking soda, vinegar or lemon juice mixed with water to clean surfaces, drains and toilets.
